Opinions please
Would you expect a used Landrover to come with 12 months MOT if the MOT is due 4 weeks after purchase ? The same applies with the service - should I expect the Sport to be serviced if its due before the end of March ?

Yes
Just politely confirm to them the deal is based on a new MOT and the imminent service
What I did  Visitor from fullfatrr.com
* GONE. 2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Now being piloted by RRSTDV8
* GONE: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* Current. 1974 Lightweight 2.25L petrol. Old skool
* GONE. Freelander GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* GONE. Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

I've checked first registration etc on LRTopix from the VIN on the order request - its dated 31/03/12 so with this info in hand I will be requesting both service & MOT from the stealers tomorrow am -

It may be a deal breaker - the reason I changed was to save a few quid on extended warranty & service costs ( timed almost to perfection ). wouldn't want it to be a own goal  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

I suppose the current mileage and when it was last serviced could have a slight bearing on it, but £50.00 for a MOT certainly won't hurt them, especially when they probably want top dollar for the car,

Actual cost of MOT and service to a dealer is negligible and I would expect any reputable dealer to offer both without hesitation as part of the sale.
If I was buying and dealer was not offering this I would turn around and walk away

Would be a deal breaker for me if it wasn't serviced and a fresh MOT put on the vehicle.  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

2013 SDV6 HSE Black Edition- Orkney Grey with Ebony & Ivory. LR Facelift RAI, Genuine G4 Expedition Rack, 4x Warn SBD-160 Spotlights, Warn 9.5XPS Winch, Mantec Underbody Protection and Sump Guard, Full Easy Lift Suspension Module, LR Light Guards, Light Force HTX230 Hybrid spotlights, 18� Compomotive PD1881 on 265/65/18 BF Goodrich KO2, ARB fridge, TuffTrek awning 😎

Yes to both also Peachy. Without a doubt. The car might already have MOT insurance with the extended warranty being offered on the car, so they will probably do the MOT when it is due and not before so that they claim the cost off JLR warranty services, and not having to pay for it out of their own dealership coffers. I don't think they will service the car till the due date, but you could make sure it is included in the sale at their cost.

Previous deals I've done with approved used included MOT and service if due within 6 months and Approved used included 12 months MOT insurance too I think

Now it's 2 years I would expect as good or better included  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I would try to get them to do both the MOT & service when they are due for free, not now. Lot of Landcruisers now sold
Audi TT 240 Sport now sold for.
RRS 2.7 HSE Now sold for.
RRS Autoibiography 2012
Defender 300tdi 90

Good move . Better than any Jag

I would expect a new MOT and service.
Would be a deal breaker for me. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.
